CNN: Exclusive: Biden administration hunts for high-value Russians for potential prisoner swap
Washington CNN — The Biden administration is scouring the globe for offers that could entice Russia to release two wrongfully detained Americans, Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
The US does not currently have any high-level Russian spies in its custody, current and former US officials say, driving the need to turn to allies for help.
The Biden administration is casting a wide net, approaching allied countries who have Russian spies in custody to gauge whether they would be willing to make a trade as part of a larger prisoner swap package. But US officials have also been surveying allies without Russians in their custody, officials said, for ideas on what might entice Moscow to release US prisoners.
The White House is also exploring narrow sanctions relief, senior administration officials said.

WNU Editor: This is incredible stuff. If this CNN report is true, one cannot help but get the impression that the White House is losing its mind over Russia.

Actually, I expect that the administration has finally figured out how the game is played, and is trying to beat the Russians with their own rules.
Another example of how the Blden Administration is worse than the keystone cops. If the American people vote these nincompoops in for a second term the Americans will deserve every bad thing that is going to happen to them.
100% 👍
Another NATO cheerleader joins the club. It’s called kidnapping in the reality that most of us normal people occupy. You people are seriously Sick in the head. 🧠 🌈 🤒
That's assuming election results require votes.
Russians grab Americans and we want to get the innocent back. Biden attempts to do this. And the bitches here dump their usual crap and badmouth him. Imagine the guy nabbed by Putin's people was your son. Would you still badmouth the attempt to get him free?
fuck Blden and fuck his supporters. Either they are 100% corrupt or 100% mentally ill. Progressivism is 100% a mental illness. Blden is a thief and influence peddler.
I would never vote for Biden.
Is what the US considering wrong? Yes.
I what Russia is doing and has been doing wrong? Yes.
A Christian Phalangist recounted a case of torture and execution during the Lebanese Civil War. Many Christian, who had been captured, were tortured and killed. So it got to the Phalangists. He said that they or someone pother small group captured someone from the Amal Militia and tied him by ropes to a vehicle. They then proceeded to drive around until there was nothing left. He was conflicted about it, but he said Amal never tortured any Phalangists again.
I am all for kidnapping and holding hostage high value Russians.
I would ask my son What the hell he was thinking bringing THC products into a country where it is illegal to posses such substances. But I’m not sure how I would feel about trading the worlds biggest arms dealer for my gay son who isn’t going to have kids anyway.
Agreed and so called rogressivism is completely regressive.
Lol do you really think a guy who couldn't pull any crowds (the biggest one was about 200 people, half of them media and staff) won against someone who filed entire stadiums? On one day Trump had three events with more than 100 thousand(!!) Attending.. please.. your brain washed. The media lies to you. Biden is not a legitimate president but involved in a silent coup. The penalty is death and we will all get to see it.
"What the hell he was thinking bringing THC products into a country ..."
They thought and they thought very little. they brought them into other countries with no problem, so they did not think it would be a problem in Russia either.
If they are not well read with newspapers and magazines online, but rather cloistered in their sparse selection of media, they would not think about it much.
The worst thing was hearing the 'female' basketball player speak. Sounded male to me.
If bad people nabbed my son I certainly wouldn't want the government kidnapping my neighbors one by one until the bad people were so disgusted by my governments actions that they gave him back. There are legal ways to go about prisoner exchanges. One of these guys was caught with a suitcase of state dept money and the other was arrested in possession of classified materials during a sting operation. Neither were random kidnappings. You know this position is lawless and morally wrong, you just don't care.
The suitcase full of money is believable in Kindergarten.
If the subjects are criminals, they should get caught. Interpol exists for a reason.
we don't trust biden and we dont trust CNN so why is this posted?
